But what if it wasn’t?

Had the rest of the country loved the FOX comedy as much as people on the West Coast (relatively) did in 2016, the show may have had an outside chance at survival. That’s one of the revelations from a breakdown of regional viewing data for the Big 4 broadcast networks from Nielsen.

The ratings company breaks down the United States into six territories, from the relatively small Northeast (New England, New York, Maryland, most of Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and a few Virginia counties) to the vast West Central, which stretches from western Indiana all the way to Montana and Wyoming. There are commonalities in what people watch across the country, but some differences too.

For example, the biggest shows are big everywhere. In some order, “The Big Bang Theory,” “Empire,” “This Is Us” and “The X-Files” make the Top 5 among adults 18-49 in all six regions (all ratings are Live +7 for calendar year 2016). “Modern Family” is a Top 5 show in four regions — all but the Southeast (where it ranks 10th) and Southwest (where it’s seventh). “Grey’s Anatomy” joins the first four in the Southeast, while the Monday “Voice” is No. 5 in the Southwest.

Nielsen also measures which shows overperform their nationwide ratings via an index number, where 100 is average. It’s here where “The Grinder” stands out in the Pacific region — again, relative to its national standing.

Here’s how every region breaks down.

NortheastMaine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, most of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon and Prince William counties in Virginia

Same-day ratings are for all new episodes aired in-season (Sept. 21, 2015-May 25, 2016), including those coded as specials. DVR ratings include only regularly scheduled episodes not coded as specials. Summer shows that aired one or two episodes in season aren’t included.

Two shows had small ratings adjustments from their preliminary ratings on Monday. “The Bachelor” adjusted up a tenth of a point in adults 18-49 to a 2.5 rating, tying its season high for ABC. The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” meanwhile, adjusted down a tenth to 0.3, in line with its average.

Upward adjustments in adults 18-49 are in green; downward adjustments are in red.

The season finales of “The X-Files,” “Superstore,” “Telenovela”and “The Biggest Loser” all posted improved ratings, and “The Bachelor” tied its season high. CBS, meanwhile, took a hit across the board.

“The X-Files” rose 0.3 to finish its short season with a 2.4. It was the top scripted show of the night and tied for No. 1 overall with “The Bachelor.” “Castle” (1.1) was also up for ABC, but “Lucifer” (1.5) dipped two tenths for FOX.

“Superstore” (1.4) and “Telenovela” (0.9) were each up 0.2, and “The Biggest Loser” rose 0.3 with its final episode.

After taking last week off for the Grammys, all three of CBS’ shows returned lower. “Supergirl” (1.5) and “NCIS: Los Angeles” (1.3) dipped 0.3, and “Scorpion” (1.7) fell 0.4 and tied its season low. Both “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (0.4) and “Jane the Virgin” (0.3) were even with their last episodes.

There were no adjustments to Monday’s early adults 18-49 ratings. The Grammys held at their time zone-adjusted rating of 7.7 and just under 25 million viewers, and a number of other shows were below average. Updated viewer totals are below.

The Grammy Awards, unsurprisingly, gave CBS a huge ratings win Monday night. The live telecast currently has a 7.4 rating drew a 7.7 rating in adults 18-49, per time zone-adjusted fast nationals. That’s down from 8.5 last season, when the awards aired in their usual Sunday spot. (Viewer numbers were about the same: 24.95 million vs. 25.3 million last year.)

The Grammys also put the hurt on a few other shows. “The X-Files” fell 0.4 week to week, and “The Bachelor” (2.2), “Superstore” (1.2) and “Telenovela” (0.7) all fell two tenths. FOX’s “Lucifer,” however, held up reasonably well, dipping only a tenth of a point vs. last week. “Castle” posted a 0.9, a season low in its regular home.

The season high for “The Bachelor” got a little bit higher in the final nationals, as the show adjusted up 0.1 from the early numbers to finish with a 2.5 in adults 18-49. That ties it with “The X-Files” for the night’s top rating.

The only other adjustment was for “Scorpion,” which rose a tenth to 2.1.

“The Bachelor” scored season-high ratings Monday night, improving two tenths on last week’s 18-49 rating with a 2.4. It came close to topping “The X-Files” (2.5), which remained the night’s No. 1 show despite slipping a tenth from last week’s fast nationals (it adjusted up in the finals). “Lucifer” (1.7) also fell for FOX.

“Supergirl” (1.8) also improved week to week, growing by 0.3 for CBS, while “Scorpion” (2.0) and “NCIS: LA” (1.6) were each up a tenth from their last new episodes. “Telenovela” (0.9) inched up a bit for NBC, and “Superstore” (1.4) was even. “Castle” returned to ABC with a 1.1, right on its season average.

On The CW, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” held onto last week’s 0.4, but “Jane the Virgin” (0.3) dipped a tenth from last week.

In late night, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” got a bit of a bump a day after its Super Bowl episode. The show scored a 0.7 in adults 18-49 in the metered markets — not enough to top “The Tonight Show” but up from its usual 0.4-0.5. Full late-night results are below.

Three shows on Monday night saw their 18-49 ratings adjust up from the preliminary numbers. FOX’s “The X-Files” (2.7) and “Lucifer” (2.0) and ABC’s “The Bachelor” (2.3) all rose one tenth from the early ratings. An “NCIS: Los Angeles” rerun on CBS adjusted down a tenth.

Monday was not a great night for the broadcast networks, with a number of shows taking sizable hits.

FOX still led the night, but “The X-Files” (2.6, -0.6 vs. last week) and “Lucifer” (1.9, -0.5) each dropped by at least half a point. “Supergirl” (1.5) fell three tenths for CBS. “The Bachelor” (2.2) and “Telenovela” (0.8) each dipped one tenth, while “Superstore” (1.4) was flat vs. last week’s fast nationals (the show adjusted up a bit in the finals).

The exception was The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” which is currently showing a season-high 0.4, up a tenth from last week.

The strong numbers for “The X-Files” and “Lucifer” from Monday’s early ratings carried through to the finals, keeping FOX on top for the night. Two shows whose numbers were down vs. last week also recouped a bit of their losses.

“Scorpion” adjusted up 0.1 to a 1.9 in adults 18-49, putting it within a tenth of last week. “Superstore” (1.5) also added a tenth, meaning it’s off two tenths from last week.

The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time.
Time Shifted Viewing: Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live +Same-Day and Live +7 Day. Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live +7 ratings include viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

“The X-Files” fell by about half from Sunday’s post-NFL debut, but FOX won’t be complaining about the 3.2 for its time-period debut: It’s only the second FOX show this season (“Empire” being the other) to post a 3.0 rating or higher.

The strong “X-Files” number also helped “Lucifer” premiere to a 2.4, the night’s second best numbers. “Supergirl” (1.8) held steady opposite “The X-Files,” and “The Bachelor” was up over last week, but “Superstore” and “Telenovela” each fell. CBS’ “Scorpion” and “NCIS: Los Angeles” dipped as well.

On The CW, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” returned to its usual 0.3, getting no bump from star Rachel Bloom’s recent Golden Globe win. “Jane the Virgin” drew a 0.4, in line with its season average.
